This article analyzes gender-based violence in a masculinized workplace within a public institution in Uruguay. Using a flexible qualitative approach, it incorporates participant observations and in-depth interviews to explore how different forms of gender-based violence-psychological, sexual, maternal mobbing, and institutional-overlap to shape women's workplace experiences. The study highlights that gender-based violence extends beyond explicit or legally recognized forms, embedding itself in everyday interactions, power structures, and organizational norms. It concludes that a gap persists between gender equality regulations and workplace practices, limiting their effectiveness. This research contributes to discussions on gender-based violence and labor
